To be successful in your professional career, having the right skills is more important than ever. In Pakistan, many young people are finishing school and looking for good jobs. But the job market is not the same as it was 10 or 20 years ago. Now, employers want people who can do practical work, not just those who have degrees. That’s why technical training is becoming the future of jobs in Pakistan.
This blog will explain what technical training is, why it’s so important, and how it can help the youth of Pakistan build better lives for themselves and their families.
What Is Technical Training?
Technical training means learning how to do a specific job or trade. This could include things like:
- Welding and fabrication
- Plumbing
- Carpentry
- Electrical work
- Civil technology
- Millwright and machinery
- CCTV and security systems
- Digital marketing
- QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety & Environment)
Instead of just sitting in a classroom and reading books, students in technical training centers get hands-on experience. They learn by doing. For example, a student training to be a welder will actually use welding tools, wear safety gear, and practice welding metal pieces together. This way, when they go out into the real world, they already know how to do the job.
The Problem With Traditional Education
In Pakistan, many students go to college or university and get a degree. But when they finish, they often can’t find jobs. Why? Because:
- Many degrees are only theory-based.
- Students don’t learn practical skills.
- The job market is changing, and many degrees don’t match the needs of employers.
- Too many students graduate in the same fields (like business or arts), so there’s too much competition.
This creates a big problem. Young people spend time and money on education but still remain jobless. This leads to frustration and financial stress for families.
How Technical Training Solves This Problem?
Technical training offers a powerful solution. Here’s why it works:
1. Skill-Based Learning
Students learn real skills they can use right away. Whether it’s fixing electrical wires, installing CCTV cameras, or building a website, they are learning to do, not just to know.
2. Faster Path to Employment
Technical courses are shorter than university degrees. Many training programs last just 6 months to 1 year. That means students can start earning money much sooner.
3. High Demand for Skilled Workers
There is a growing demand for skilled workers in Pakistan and overseas—especially in countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar. Technical skills like welding, plumbing, and electrical work are in high demand.
4. Low Cost, High Return
Most technical training programs are more affordable than university education. Plus, students often find jobs quickly, so they can start supporting their families faster.
What the Numbers Say?
According to recent reports by Pakistan’s Ministry of Education and the NAVTTC (National Vocational & Technical Training Commission):
- Only 1 out of every 10 graduates finds a job related to their university degree.
- But 7 out of 10 technical training graduates find jobs within 6 months of completing their course.
- Countries like Germany and Japan have strong economies because they focus heavily on vocational and technical training.
This shows that technical education is not just an option—it’s the smarter path forward.
Real Jobs for Real Skills
Let’s look at a few examples of jobs that are available to students with technical training:
Course Job Titles Salary Range (Pakistan) Salary Range (Abroad)
Welding Welder, Fabricator PKR 25,000–60,000 SAR 2,000–4,500
Electrical Electrician, Technician PKR 30,000–70,000 AED 2,000–5,000
Digital Marketing SEO Specialist, Social Media Manager PKR 35,000–80,000 Remote jobs, USD $500–2,000
Plumbing Plumber, Maintenance Worker PKR 20,000–50,000 OMR 150–400
With the right training, young people can work in industries such as:
- Construction
- Oil and Gas
- Hospitality
- Logistics
- IT and Freelancing
- Civil and Government Projects
Why Employers Prefer Technically Trained Workers?
Employers want workers who are ready to start work from day one. A student who has completed a course in civil technology or millwright at a technical school like TMTVTS already knows how to work safely, use equipment, and follow instructions.
Employers don’t want to spend months training new hires. That’s why they prefer to hire people with technical training—they save time and money, and get better results.

How Technical Training Helps the Nation?
When young people learn technical skills and get jobs, the whole country benefits:
- Families earn more money
- Poverty is reduced
- The economy grows
- Fewer young people go abroad illegally or stay unemployed
- More people work in building the nation’s roads, homes, power stations, and businesses
That’s why technical training is not just about jobs—it’s about building a stronger, smarter Pakistan.
